Organized like a primer, with hundreds of entries in 50 categories--from A for Angels to Z for Zodiac--this handy pocket reference enables you to recognize at a glance the identity and meaning of all the elements in any Christian work of art. 162 paintings from every century illustrate the enduring themes of our biblical heritage. A short introductory essay explains how to use the handbook and the functions of symbols in art. Cross-references, illustrations, a detailed index, and the pocket-book size make A Handbook of Symbols in Christian Art an invaluable work for museum-goers, students, travelers, art collectors, and general readers.
Sill, Gertrude Grace: - Gertrude Grace Sill, a graduate of Smith College and Wesleyan University, is an art historian, curator, and professor. She has lectured and published for over forty years.
